Natixis Funding Managers Companions with Two Constitution Colleges in Boston and San Francisco

BOSTON & SAN FRANCISCO – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Natixis Investment Managers (Natixis) announced today that the Philanthropic Partnership Program has expanded to include two charter schools based in Boston and San Francisco. Natixis will partner with the Boston Pacific Academy (APR) and the San Francisco Life Learning Academy (LLA) to develop human resource development, career research, and financial literacy programs that provide elementary and high school students with career opportunities in the financial industry.

The partnerships with the Academy of the Pacific Rim and Life Learning Academy are part of Natixis’ longstanding commitment to support its local communities and its broader efforts to increase diversity in the financial services industry. In addition to Natixis’ financial contributions, Natixis staff organize competency-based volunteer opportunities to provide APR students with financial literacy. Staff will also develop career discovery videos to introduce LLA students to various roles within financial services. Exposing underrepresented students with a focus on racial and ethnic minorities to the wide range of career opportunities in financial services can help expand the diversity of future candidate pools.

“We are excited to partner with the Academy of the Pacific Rim and the Life Learning Academy to have a direct and lasting impact that improves student education and learning environments,” said David Giunta, US CEO, Natixis Investment Managers. “We look forward to supporting schools’ efforts to ensure that all students are given the opportunity to reach their full potential.”

“At the Life Learning Academy we do everything we can to support students who are facing unthinkable difficulties. We are not an ordinary school, and that means we need exceptional partners like Natixis,” said Dr. Teri Delane, Executive Director, Life Learning Academy “Natixis ‘support enables us to meet our students’ needs under one roof, from basic needs like food to job placement to academic opportunities that enable them to have a good life for themselves to accomplish. We are grateful for this well thought-out partnership and I look forward to bringing the Natixis team to campus for lunch as soon as possible – prepared, of course, by students from the Life Learning Academy. ”

“The Academy of the Pacific Rim is grateful and motivated to partner with Natixis,” said Spencer Blasdale, executive director of the Academy of the Pacific Rim. “From the start, our collaboration has focused on our mission to empower students of all races and ethnic backgrounds. Now we can offer our students more opportunities to explore meaningful educational and career opportunities. It is exciting to think about, plan and shape the future of our students with Natixis by our side as a real strategic partner. ”

“Natixis is committed to bringing more people to our industry, and inspiring young students to explore the wide range of rewarding positions in finance is a step in the right direction,” added Giunta. “We see these partnerships as a long-term investment in the future.”
